I Have Medicine

Chapter Ch230 - Heavenly Beast Body

Huang Ji glanced at the two people, and then continued eating the meat in large mouthfuls.

Transparent beast oil rolled along the corner of his mouth, and was lightly wiped away by his hand. Then, it fell on the other side.

After Gu Zuo broke through, he opened his eyes. Gongyi Tianheng had already finished breaking through. At this moment, Tianheng was sitting across from Huang Ji. He was leisurely enjoying the remaining roasted meat, and consolidating his own strength.

Seeing that Gu Zuo had also broken through, Tianheng smiled: “Ah Zuo, take a proper rest.”

Gu Zuo nodded his head, and looked at Huang Ji.

Speaking of which, their realms were exposed just like this. Wasn’t this a problem?

But on second thought, Gu Zuo didn’t worry about this any longer.

Regardless of the breakthrough, they were just Xiantian stage six. When compared to Huang Ji, who had almost reached peak Immortal Realm, what did it matter? Moreover, it seemed that, based on the temper that Huang Ji showed, he also wouldn’t care.

— Prior to interacting closely with Huang Ji, Gu Zuo would’ve made all kinds of conjectures. However, after genuinely meeting face to face, he realized that there were some people whom he didn’t need to make any guesses about at all.

This was considered a type of novel experience, too.

Hence, Gu Zuo casually regulated his breathing. And while he did this, he also watched his graceful big brother get along rather pleasantly with that Huang Ji.

A good while later, Huang Ji finally finished eating. He wiped his mouth, and started talking: “That day, it was you who was looking at me.”

While he spoke, those two pitch-black eyes fell upon Gu Zuo’s body.

Gu Zuo: “…”

Although he could make out Huang Ji’s temperament, being questioned so directly was still something he wasn’t accustomed to.

Tianheng appeared to have figured out the method for communicating with Huang Ji: “How did Senior Sect Brother Huang find out?”

Huang Ji’s eyes turned to Tianheng: “Intuition.”

Tianheng asked even more bluntly: “At that time, what did Senior Sect Brother Huang sense?”

Huang Ji paused. He seemed to be thinking about something. After that, he said: “Something was coming.”

Gu Zuo heard this, and was a little eager: “Then, can Senior Sect Brother Huang sense that thing?”

Huang Ji’s sword-like eyebrows faintly furrowed: “I can’t.”

Gu Zuo sighed in relief.

He didn’t suspect that Huang Ji was telling a lie. Huang Ji basically didn’t need to tell any lies.

Merely, Gu Zuo and Tianheng didn’t anticipate that Huang Ji was someone whom they could get along with so well, nor that he was so straightforward.

A person with this kind of disposition made them feel like they could be friends.

After thinking it over, Gu Zuo decided to ask directly: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, I’ve heard that you’ve never been willing to meet with unfamiliar disciples. Why didn’t you refuse to meet with us this time?”

He also realized the method for communicating with Huang Ji.

Sure enough, Huang Ji said: “That day, you were looking at me strangely.”

Gu Zuo understood.

So it was rare for Huang Ji to become curious. Therefore, he was rarely willing to meet others after hearing about them.

Huang Ji asked again: “What’s that thing of yours?”

Gu Zuo pursed his lips.

This kind of Huang Ji made him unwilling to deceive the other party, but if he told Huang Ji… He still hadn’t heard of any other pharmacists possessing a method to hone their psychic powers. Even Xu Lingxiu didn’t know how to use psychic power. No matter how favorable an impression Gu Zuo had of Huang Ji, he didn’t know if he could take this risk.

Seeing that Gu Zuo was having a hard time deciding, Tianheng smiled and answered: “This is Ah Zuo’s special ability.”

Huang Ji tilted his head: “A special constitution?”

Tianheng said: “It’s hard to tell.”

Gu Zuo thought about it, and said: “I don’t know if it’s a special constitution, but I can’t talk about this ability’s specific situation right now.”

After some hesitation, Gu Zuo used this way of speaking.

To be honest, he indeed didn’t know if he possessed a special constitution. However, he had only ever heard of martial artists having special constitutions. As for whether pharmacists had any, it was currently unknown — A certain number of physiques were recorded in that <<Comprehensive Collection of Heaven and Earth Physiques>>, but all of them were classified as martial artist physiques.

In addition, since he wasn’t willing to trick Huang Ji, he could only say that he couldn’t say anything.

Moreover, Gu Zuo really didn’t know if this type of method of hammering and refining one’s psychic power was something that only he could do or if it was something that all pharmacists could do.

Huang Ji’s voice carried a hoarse note. In fact, it wasn’t melodious like a normal woman’s voice: “You didn’t try to deceive me. You guys are okay.”

Tianheng faintly smiled.

Meanwhile, Gu Zuo stared blankly.

Eh?

Then, he suddenly understood.

As it turned out, Huang Ji didn’t “innocently” treat everyone so openly. Within his disposition was a bit of cunning. He knew to sound them out as well.

After this, Gu Zuo couldn’t help smiling.

He felt that Huang Ji appeared to bear a bit of a beastly intuition.

This kind of “man” was also very adorable.

After this incident passed, Huang Ji’s qi emissions were even more mild when he looked at them. It appeared that his impressions of them were continuously rising.

Gu Zuo felt much more relaxed.

Since Huang Ji mentioned special constitutions first, he asked directly: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, I’ve heard a rumor about you. Since childhood, you could use whistling sounds to intimidate wild beasts. Is this an ability brought about by your special constitution?”

Huang Ji had a good opinion of the two. He just nodded and said: “It is.”

Gu Zuo curiously said: “What’s Senior Sect Brother Huang’s special constitution?”

Huang Ji shook his head: “I don’t know.”

Gu Zuo: “…”

This also didn’t seem strange.

In this world, there were numerous physiques of untold descriptions. Being unable to make a determination after finding out was very normal.

But in the end, this was his mission. For that item book, he needed to repeatedly ask for any distinctive features. Perhaps he could make a judgment? Furthermore, Huang Ji was sincere to them. After they matched the corresponding physique, they could also mention a training method to Huang Ji to avoid wasting his innate skills.

Afterwards, Gu Zuo asked: “Senior Sect Brother Huang’s abilities… Is it convenient to talk about them?”

Huang Ji pondered: “My strength is huge. The whistling sounds can intimidate beast herds that have realms which are lower than mine. There aren’t any other uses.”

In Gu Zuo’s mind, he started to filter out the characteristics of countless physiques.

A physique whose whistles could intimidate beast herds. Actually, there were lots… In reality, even if it wasn’t a physique, after one’s strength reached a certain realm, various forms of intimidation wouldn’t be hard. Only, the ones that were capable of achieving this from childhood only numbered a few. Additionally, he added innate herculean strength on top of this, and looked through the list…

Gu Zuo furrowed his brows: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, your blood… Does it have any effect on wild beasts?”

Huang Ji also furrowed his brows: “When I bleed, wild beasts become agitated.”

Gu Zuo’s brows loosened: “Have wild beasts deliberately gone to devour Senior Sect Brother Huang’s blood?”

Huang Ji thought it over, and nodded.

Gu Zuo immediately came to a realization: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, I’ve actually heard of a type of physique that’s very similar to yours.”

Huang Ji’s eyes shined.

Gu Zuo smiled and said: “The Heavenly Beast Body.”

Huang Ji’s originally callous appearance eventually revealed a trace of doubt.

Gu Zuo straightened out his train of thought, and bluntly informed Huang Ji: “Generally speaking, the Heavenly Beast Body is a type of physique that has merits and drawbacks in equal measure. The core of its effects is the martial artist’s blood. And the level of the blood’s valor will increase with each passing year as the martial artist grows older. Whenever the strength of a martial artist who possesses the Heavenly Beast Body rises a level, their intimidation ability towards wild beasts will become stronger — It can be said that the Heavenly Beast Body is a human-shaped beast king. When letting out a whistle, as far as wild beasts are concerned, it has an intense ability to scare them into submission.”

Tianheng had also read through this item book. At this moment, he was watching Gu Zuo give Huang Ji this explanation, and Gu Zuo’s face was practically glowing. Tianheng revealed a gentle, smiling expression.

Huang Ji was listening very carefully.

Gu Zuo continued to talk: “Many Heavenly Beast Bodies mistakenly believe that their own whistles can only intimidate lower-realmed wild beasts. Actually, this type of ability is something that a great majority of valiant martial artists can possess. This prevents them from understanding their own physiques. However, as a matter of fact, this is only because they haven’t completely developed their own physiques, which leads to such an outcome. If the Heavenly Beast Body is completely developed, one’s whistle should be able to intimidate the vast majority of wild beasts whose bloodlines aren’t noble enough — Even if it’s a wild beast whose strength is several times higher than that of the Heavenly Beast Body, one should be able to frighten it for some time. This’ll give one the chance to flee.”

Huang Ji grew more and more interested: “And the drawbacks?”

Gu Zuo organized his speech: “Senior Sect Brother Huang should know that wild beasts will devour one another. If a wild beast consumes the bloodline of another wild beast that has an even stronger lineage, then its own bloodline level will subsequently rise. The blood of the Heavenly Beast Body is equivalent to a panacea that will purify a wild beast’s bloodline. When the Heavenly Beast Body doesn’t shed blood, wild beasts will be afraid of them. But once blood is shed, wild beasts will water at the mouth — Because fairly powerful wild beasts are insatiable and will restrain the fear in their own bloodlines, they will hunt down the Heavenly Beast Body!

“As a result, when the Heavenly Beast Body is immature, it’s best not to show one’s face before high-level wild beasts that can’t be dealt with. Otherwise, they’ll be in even greater danger than ordinary martial artists… This is the biggest drawback.”

As for the point about herculean strength, the Heavenly Beast Body was an existence analogous to a beast king. And the reason why the great majority of wild beasts could easily get rid of martial artists of equal strength was because their physical bodies were valiant. They were extraordinarily powerful.

Naturally, the strength of the Heavenly Beast Body should far exceed the norm.

Huang Ji listened and understood: “Thank you.”

At this moment, the system beeped in Gu Zuo’s Tianfu Acupoint.

[The side mission is completed.]

[The completion reward <<Spirit Refining Seal>> has already been placed in the host’s storage space.]

Gu Zuo’s consciousness “looked” in the storage space. Sure enough, he discovered that there was one more ancient text. He immediately knew that his own guess about Huang Ji’s special constitution was the correct one. Hence, he was even more assured about the following matters that needed to be said.

Soon after, Gu Zuo shared a glance with Tianheng.

[Big brother, how about we invite Huang Ji over to our place?]

[Ah Zuo’s meaning is?]

[It would be too pitiful if the Heavenly Beast Body can’t be developed. En, does big brother feel that Senior Sect Brother Huang is worth roping in?]

Tianheng’s smiling expression deepened.

[He’s unlikely to become an enemy.]

Gu Zuo understood in a split second.

[Then, let’s make Senior Sect Brother Huang our friend!]

Tianheng nodded his head.

The two’s exchange lasted shorter than a breath.

Off to the side, Huang Ji looked over: “What are you two talking about?”

Gu Zuo was slow to come up with a response.

…Sure enough, it was a beast-like intuition.

It was really worthy of being called the Heavenly Beast Body.

Thus, Gu Zuo just asked: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, I know the method of developing the Heavenly Beast Body. Are you willing to trust me?”

Huang Ji’s eyes flickered with doubt.

Gu Zuo earnestly said: “Developing the Heavenly Beast Body is a very long process. Originally, when at the Houtian Realm, one would need to use the blood of different wild beasts to temper the body for years on end. When at the Xiantian Realm, one would need to use the blood of ten types of wild beasts for each occasion. When at the Immortal Realm, one would need to use the blood of a hundred types of wild beasts. Senior Sect Brother Huang will already be starting late. Right now, it’s best to take medicine and temper the body at the same time. And the medicine that you need to take is the Hundred Blood Pill. As for the beast blood needed for body tempering, it must be processed with the corresponding medicinal ingredients according to Senior Sect Brother Huang’s constitution every time.”

The doubts in Huang Ji’s eyes slowly turned to understanding.

Gu Zuo continued to speak: “However, I normally have lots of work to deal with, and I have no way to take care of Senior Sect Brother Huang at all times. If Senior Sect Brother Huang wants to develop the Heavenly Beast Body, you can only move to the hill that my big brother possesses.”

When speaking up to here, Gu Zuo also felt that his own proposal was somewhat rude and offhanded. Gu Zuo was thinking that, no matter how magnanimous Huang Ji’s disposition was and regardless of how much trust he had in them, Huang Ji couldn’t just take them for their word and allow the other party to control his own pace.

Thus, after pondering for a bit, Gu Zuo spoke once more: “Senior Sect Brother Huang doesn’t need to make a decision so quickly. It would be better to get wild beast blood to try tempering the body first. If it really is useful, then it won’t be too late to revisit this decision.”

Huang Ji saw that Gu Zuo was sincere. Huang Ji wasn’t someone who couldn’t tell good from bad, and simply said: “Thank you.”

Gu Zuo showed a great, big smile: “If Senior Sect Brother Huang has any needs, just inform us in advance and you can drop by at any time. Big brother and I will certainly give a warm welcome. However, if Senior Sect Brother Huang goes, it means that you’re willing to trust me. As such, when I develop and temper Senior Sect Brother Huang’s body, you need to do things exactly as I say.”

After he finished speaking, Gu Zuo and Tianheng felt that they were more or less done. Then, they said their goodbyes to Huang Ji.

Huang Ji didn’t say anything. He seemed to be thinking deeply about something. But when the two were leaving, he followed closely behind them the entire time. After seeing them down the hill, he went back.

Gu Zuo turned his head to give a glance: “Big brother, do you think Senior Sect Brother Huang will come?”

Tianheng smiled and said: “What does Ah Zuo think?”

“I feel that…he will.”

“Then, he will!”

The voices of the two slowly got farther away.

After Gongyi Tianheng increased his realm again, although top grade Qi Linking Pills were very good, their effects on him were already inferior to before. To ensure that those bottomless pit-like bone pearls throughout his whole body could eat their fills, when Tianheng was swallowing large quantities of top grade Qi Linking Pills, Gu Zuo started to refine Qi Accumulating Pills.

As far as Gu Zuo was concerned, this type of medicinal pill that improved one’s strength and supplemented one’s true qi didn’t give him any trouble at all. Aside from the medicinal ingredients being a bit more expensive, nothing else was of any concern.

Gu Zuo quickly and smoothly refined top grade Qi Accumulating Pills. Within two days, the medicinal pills that Tianheng took were upgraded again, so he didn’t need to act like before where he would have to swallow huge handfuls of pills.

At the same time, Gu Zuo opened up that <<Spirit Refining Seal>> to take a look.

With this one look, he was a little surprised. It felt as if things were following an inevitable matter of course.

It was divided into four chapters.

<<Spirit Forging Chapter>>

<<Spirit Condensing Chapter>>

<<Spirit Piercing Chapter>>

<<Spirit Transforming Chapter>>

At the same time, the levels of psychic power were also strictly differentiated in this <<Spirit Refining Seal>>.
